Hi, I'm a Qubes newbie but coming along really well. I'm using 4.0.1 rc-1. 

I had a question about what the process is to add new storage drives (ssd or 
hdd). Looking through the documentation I can see there are several docs that 
help but raised other questions. So here goes.

There is a doc to add SSD storage 
cache(https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/qubes-users/a08359c9-9eb0-4d1a-ad92-a8a9bc676ea6%40googlegroups.com)
 and one for Storing AppVMs on Secondary Drives 
(https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/secondary-storage/).

Question 1: What's the difference between these two? Or I do understand the 
second doc, but not sure what SSD storage cache is for?

Question 2: My main goal is to add more storage available to the entire system 
for it to use as it needs. This would be after initial install. It doesn't have 
to be specifically for AppVMs, etc. So, I wasn't sure how to do that.

Now, I'm currently setup on dual boot, I do realize the security concerns and 
since I'm just testing exploring now I'm only evaluating. I do have some data 
stored on the Win10 drives (hdd). So,

Question 3: is there a way to add those hdd's into the Qubes environment, let's 
say into the home directory of an AppVM so I can have access that way?  I do 
realize the security holes this creates, so its not that I will ultimately 
operate this way. Maybe this question can be translated as, is it possible to 
add an ssd or hdd specifically for /home or user profile data?

Thanks again for all your help. It's been really fun getting back into linux 
and getting to know Qubes.
